Nirvana Thread

Nirvana is one of my favorite bands ever. They changed the music industry forever. They helped to create the best style of music(in my oppinion) grunge. Kurt Cobain is one of the best guitarist/singer/song writers ever. Dave Grohl is one of the best too. Krist, plays bass, which is easy, so there is no "best"

TS is right, Kurt was a great songwriter.But he wasn't "the best" guitarist.I personally think some songs could really use a (better) solo.

And is NIRVANA overrated? Maybe. But that's thanks to all the anoying teenage 'fans' who only know Smells like Teen Spirit and think they are hardcore. Kurt never wanted to be succesfull in the pop music industry. He wanted to start a band and make the music he loved.

So tell my again, why is this tread a bad idea? I've seen more treads for grunge/punk bands on UG.

Most people don't realizeThat two large pieces of coral,Painted brown, and attached to his skullWith common wood screws Can make a child look like a deer.

How exactly? They were a independent band that then hit major label success... the Beatles did that in the 60's.

Writing songs you like does not make them the best at what they do. If you want to have an opinion taken seriously then you need to back it up with something.

Liking something and something being great are two incredibly different things. A useful thing to learn if you're gonna take music seriously. Liking something doesn't have to be justified, something being great has to be explained.

As a Bass Player I am incredibly offended, I COULD go into a large essay about why you are wrong, but it'll be easier if I post some youtube links.

Bass is as simple as you make it. Just because Nirvana was mostly about Kurts ego (he refused to tune his guitar and made Kris tune to him for example) and not about good bass lines, doesn't mean that bass is an easy instrument.

In part it was because he refused to buy good guitars and then beat the crap out of his cheap janky guitars that went out of tune easily.

I guess I was missing out a lot of the steps. It was because of his personal views on capitalism that meant he was always out of tune meaning that the bass player was always having to look out for the tuning. Not the other way around.

It just seems petty to me.

There are also lots of rumours that he did it on purpose because he hated his fans though.
